Let me start by saying I have normal to dry skin, but despise silicone primers. Smashbox Photo Finish (and all similar primers) cause me to break out like mad. So far the only ones I've found that I can use are L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base and Guerlain light diffusing. I bought the OCC primer to try, since it is silicone-free (let me be clear - I bought mine before they changed …Read more

I was excited to try this product after reading rave reviews, but it disappointed me and my oily/combination skin. The product was maybe slightly moisturizing, but did nothing to enhance the appearance or texture of my skin. I felt like it did NOT help control shine and oil, and just kind of "sat" on my skin. It might have helped my makeup stay on longer, but my skin was too shiny and …Read more

This primer is more like an awesome tinted moisturizer, in my experience - When I put it on, it moisturizes, smoothes and mattifies my face, and it seems to have some pigment, too. I rarely feel the need to put liquid foundation on top: just a bit of OCC concealer under my eyes and some powder and I'm good to go. Bonus it's vegan and cruelty-free - if only it weren't so spendy.

2) It is a great morning moisturizer for combo/oily skin. It smoothes …Read more

So, until today, I have been using silicone primers (think Smashbox); though I was never fully satisfied with them, I believed they were the best so I stuck with them.

Great primer. I'm not a fan of the silicone-y primers like Smashbox Photo Finish and this is perfect for me. A little bit goes a long way and it sinks right into my skin. It keeps my makeup on all day and I haven't had any problems with my foundation oxidizing on me since I've used this. OCC is an amazing line and I'm loving everything I've tried!
